Split Old Town (Croatian Riviera) by pdulis

Split Old Town (Croatian Riviera)

The historic center of the ancient town of Split was built around the Palace of Diocletian constructed as a retirement home for the former Roman Emperor. The original walls, temples, squares, main streets and massive gates are still visible, and people still live in the old-fashioned houses. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage site and contains St Duje’s Cathedral, built in 305 AD as Diocletian’s mausoleum. The ancient Jupiter’s Temple became St John’s Church and the two authentic Egyptian sphinxes brought by Diocletian to his palace are still standing.
Interesting building and thank you for the historical notes, makes it more meaningful. Good perspective. I'd like to save it to see again, so Fav.
